So I have been using 4.1 on my Gnex for the past couple of days (Outside the US).
Installed Play Movies and Google Earth from US market using market enabler.
I am unable to see or open these apps even though they are installed on my phone.
I even got an update for play books.
The open links in the play store have disappeared and the apps are not shown in the drawer either.
I can confirm they are installed and the issue only affects 'US Play store only' apps.
Highly disappointed, anyone else facing this issue and any solutions?
This is not an ussue..
Where do u live ? I live in Brazil and google cannot sell books here yet, so the app doesnt work

Everything working fine in UK
I'm in India, i understand not being able to use services not available in the country. But i'm not able to see or open the app. Even Google earth seems to be affected by the issue.

I am in India too, and I managed to install the Play Books and Play Movies app through the Google Play website. I was also able to install Google earth.
In Play Books and Movies, if you click the market button, it just takes you to the apps store and not to the respective app sections though..
Found a fix!
Not sure why none of you are facing this issue but I tried stock 4.1 and awesomebeats.
Anyway I noticed the apps that were invisible in the drawer were highlighted blue in titanium backup. I selected the "Defrost" option for each in titanium and those apps are now available. Thanks for the replies guys.

Some people have posted they have...Although, I'm in London and haven't yet. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling updates...
Go on the market and accept the new terms that pop up, then keep opening and closing the market until you get taken to Google Play instead.

I just hope they change the layout for the market like the Apple App store its so much more cleaner and easier to navigate.
I like the whats hot, top 25 sections on the App Store.
I just hope Google changes the layout.
Thanks all. Still don't have play yet but thanks

There is no difference, Just says Google Play at the top Instead of Market, who came up with "Google Play" by the way lol, I received the update earlier on my Xperia Play 2.3.4, I'm in Wales, UK, Sim free.
Well mine still says market, could it be because I still have 2 updates available (which I don't plan to do)?

Hi guys
I was given an apk from Gameloft as a "gift". It is normally a paid app on google play. Is there a way to have the play store recognize my app so I can install it from there going forward?
Thanks!
As far as I know, Google Play will recognize the app even though you've sideloaded it.
You won't be able to get upgrades from the play store, but it will recognize the app is installed.
Thanks much =]
Too bad I'd love for the play store to be my one stop shop for the app going forward

It works for me, thanks!
Changing to US language didn't work for me. I had to defrost it in titanium backup, then it started working.
Thanks.
Is there any other apps that need defrosting? Google Wallet?
...
To answer my own question. I found the option to show frozen apps in titanium backup
So for the UK frozen were:
Google Ears - Sound Search
Google Play Magazines 1.0
Wallet 1.1-R67-v5

I got it to defrost both Google Ears and Google Play Magazines. I already had Google Wallet working Anyways, when I go to open Play Magazines, it says to look for mags in the Play Store so I click it, but it doesn't list the Magazines topic. Any help with this?

Does these apps freeze again after a reboot?
In my phone they do. I honestly only care about Sound search. In Venezuela there's no use for Books, Magazines, Movies or Wallet.
But I'd like to have Sound Search permanently enabled.
I do have the phone set to US English.
Cheers!
Hi el_charlie,
same for me - after rebooting the widget is removed and I have to defrost it again.
Did you already find a solution?
Michael
Use Package Enabler from play store. It will automatically unfreeze those apps after a reboot

My play store doesn't show any devices for purchasing. If I click on any web links to the nexus 4, 7 , or 10 it just opens the play store app on my phone. I'm running the latest cm10 ROM (Oct 28) and I'm with telus in BC, Canada.
Is anybody else experiencing this?

Try clearing the "default app" data, that way when you click the link you can select a browser instead of the Play Store app.
Same here (Germany, jbsourcery rom). I can only see them in the web market on my computer. No clue why.

Do what wiredpirate suggested. Go to settings, apps, Play Store, and clear defaults then try the links again. Should work fine =]
forgot to mention to pick BROWSER after clicking the links. The devices won't show up in the play store app.

Because hardware not available for purchase via the app. Yep, it really is that simple- nothing wrong with your phone, that's just the way it is.
Hello.
I've had my g3 for a couple of days now and some of the games i used to play such as bubble witch saga 2 are incompatible with the g3. They don't even appear on the play store, i have to click on the google links.
Is it basically just a case of waiting until they get updated or is there anything i can do?
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Email the devs for any app you find that doesn't work, the app itself will be fine they just need to update their play store listing to allow the new resolution.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Same thing with the ESPN SportsCenter app. You'd probably have luck contacting the devs with smaller apps, but with some of the bigger ones, it's probably just a waiting game.
